A young girl named Agnes Alice Beck With, daughter of the professor of swimoning | st Lambeth Baths. yesteniay accomplisied | ibe difficult feat of swimming from Loudon | Bridge te Greeiwich. The distance is rather more Lan five miles, and the time was re- markably fast—namely, th. 7: 4 Beckwith bas Jeen connected with the Lam- | beth baths for nearly @ quarter of a centar: And for fourteen years held the proud posi- | ton of ¢ champion Swimmer of Eogiand.

MISS RECKWITH DIVED irom the rowing voatat nine minutes to five and Al once commenced & rapid side stroke which she maints pd to tue flaish. attired in a swimming costun She was | same color. The water was ve and the tide running about tu miles per hour. Swimming about a co of yards in the rea oree's boat, T nel Pier was reached at 11 minutes past dve. f Jock (5:22) a salute was fi er Was encouraged With lusty cheers. The Comme.elal dock was quic ieft behind, and soon after the Hilda, on her return from Margate, crowded with excur- sionists, passed the flotilia. Passing Millwall | Miss Beckwith crossed to the north side and | took advantage of the strong tide. At this | Rolnt she was mei by the saloon steamer ictoria, Whose passengers were vociferous in their applause. The foreign cattle mar- ket at Deptford was breasted at twelve min- utes 10 8iX, And, as Greenwich hospita peared in sight, the intelligence was con v« ed to the swimmer by repeated cheers, a sa- | lute being also fired from the Unicorn. The pier at Greenwich and the grounds of the ship were crowded with people who cheered to the echo when the spiri strains of «See the Conquering Hero Comes” announces the Success of the attempt. Miss Beckwith swam some distance beyond the pier, and was taken on board at 5h. 58m. 45s., having ac- complished the distance, as stated above, in 1b. 7m. 458, She seemed almost as fresh as when she Started, and to all appearance was capabie of | going considerably further. It is worthy of Mmenlon that this was Miss Beckwith’s first essay of the sort, if we sine @ trial trip on Monday from Battersea to Westminster. Her hearest approach lo the present feat was & swim of two and a half miles in the Lambeth Baths in three-quarters of an hour. How to Get Rid of Household Pests. J have not seen a bedbug or a flea in my house for many years. If an army of them were to be brought in, mercury would spx ily exterminate them; but I think cleaoli- ness the best and perhaps the ouly preven- tive. The common house fly I donot molest, believing that it more than compensates for its trouble by clearing the atmosphere of effiuvia and the animaicules which always arise from the putrefactioa of decaying sub- stances during warm weather. So also with the birds, which are quite numerous here, drring the summer. Instead of shooting them or setting up scarecrows to frighten them away, I throw out every possible in- ducement for them t build their nests in my fruit trees. The birds capture a larze share of the insects in the larval state, aud thus the millers are prevented from deposit- ing eggs for a future crop of worms. As to thie loss of frult by the birds, the latter are al- Ways sure to be on band in force in the son of ripe fruit, whether they come ear enough to take the worms or not. For the residue of insects which infest my vegetable garden I find that the laboratory of the chem- ist furnishes materials fatal to them all, among which white bellebore and cayenne pepper @re of the most utility. The bug or Worm which cannot find vegetation unfla- vored with these articles will seek its break- fast elsewhere and leave my garden unmo lested. A few drops of carbolic acid in a pint of water will clean house plants from lice in a very short time. If mosquitoes or other blood-suckers infest our sleeping rooms at night, we uucork a bottle of the oil of penny- royal, aud these insects leave in great haste, hor will they return so long as the air in the room is loaded with tae fames of that aro- matic herb. If rats enter the cellar, a little powdered potash thrown into their holes or mixed with meal and scattered in their ran- Ways never fails todrive them away. C: enne pepper will keep the buttery and room free from ants and cockroaches.

On Friday merning last Cornelius and Flor- ence Sullivan fired an imperfectly covered blast. A large rock was hurled over one block. Pt entered the upper window of 55 east 123d street. The room was occupied by Mr. John M. Sheddon and family. tis little daughter Alice had just arisen and was dressing herself. The rock strack the oppo- site wall, rebounaed, and struck ber in the side, Knocking her senseless. On Saturday she died. Coroner Croker held the Sulliv yesterday in $1,000 bail each.—N. ¥.
